g60greeny Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) now then,i'm andy from doncaster i've just signed up to the forum as i'm thinkin of gettin a lupo as my next ride,an where better to find all the info about them than here i currently drive a g60 rado which i've owned for the last 5yrs,but after seein some of the lupos @ harewood house i'm considerin sellin the rado an buyin a lupo it will be hard to part we the rado,an the g/f says i'm mad for what i've spent on it so far who knows maybes soon or over the next year or so i maybe in the lupo family heres a few pics of my current ride anyway,u reckon i'd get a good swap on a lupo?

LiamD Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 As someone who's gone from a Lupo to a Corrado, I think you must be insane. Especially one as nice as your Rado!The Lupo is a great small car, but the running costs are no less than the Rado, unless you get a TDi Loop I suppose. I'm using the same fuel a week in my 16v Corrado as I did in a 1.0 Lupo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'd go for a TDi then, and get it re-mapped.I wish I bought one when I first bought my Lupo. Cant knock 35 quid a year tax, and 35 quid fuel seems to get 400+ miles to a tank... well one tank got us from Middlesbrough to Ultimate Dubs and back, with some spare, and Jack doesn't drive slow either, sat at 100 most of the way there and back.

LiamD Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 It's nippy enough, between 100-110bhp in a little car, so you can imagine it'll go alright.This is my mates Arosa TDi - http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44201 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
